Emily McNutt, Associate Editor at The Points Guy, gives Cheddar an update on Puerto Rico's recovery from Hurricane Maria. The Points Guy was named Forbes' number one travel influencer of 2017. Tourism is a crucial part of Puerto Rico's recovery effort, as it makes up 6% of the island's GDP. Flights to the island are as cheap as $200. While 40% of the country is still without power, spirits are high and the island is open to tourists. To help and find out more, McNutt suggests visiting Puerto Rico's Facebook page, "See Puerto Rico."
